How to change what a Home menu item does.

dwjp90 · 2011-12-15 13:45

I'm trying to make it so that the home menu item "TV Shows" points to a favorite/Smart playlist.

The reason I want to do it this way is so that it retains its submenu and other special skin effects.

I attempted to follow the wiki, but the section it tells me to edit has 0 effect on anything.

The section that i understand im supposed to edit is this in Home.xml

Edit: soulution was to edit Includes_Home_Horizontal.xml instead (because I use the horizontal view)

Code:

                <item id="5">

                    <description>TV shows</description>

                    <label>$LOCALIZE[31004]</label> <1-- orig $LOCALIZE[31004]-->

                    <icon>special://skin/backgrounds/tvshows.jpg</icon>

                    <thumb>$INFO[Skin.String(CustomTVShowsFolder)]</thumb>            

                    <onclick>XBMC.ActivateWindow(MyVideoLibrary,tvshowtitles,return)</onclick> <!-- attm change XBMC.ActivateWindow(10025,$INFO[Skin.String(Menu_Custom6_Path)],return) -->

                    <visible>!Skin.HasSetting(HomeMenuNoTVShowsButton) + Library.HasContent(TVShows)</visible>

                </item>

You have to change the <onclick> and point to your xsp-file

Sorry i posted the Original version.

It doesn't matter what i change that line too, it has 0 effect. If i make it blank, it still launches the tvshows library.

If i change it to this

Code:

ActivateWindow(10025,"special://profile/playlists/video/Tv Shows.xsp"

It still launches the TV Shows library instead of the playlist.

Is there something else I need to modify?

Lose the "" and close with )

Code:

<onclick>ActivateWindow(videolibrary,special://profile/playlists/video/TV Shows.xsp)</onclick>

Still has no effect.

Here's the current code from 720p/home.xml

Code:

                <item id="5">

                    <description>TV shows</description>

                    <label>TV Showz</label> <!-- orig $LOCALIZE[31004]-->

                    <icon>special://skin/backgrounds/tvshows.jpg</icon>

                    <thumb>$INFO[Skin.String(CustomTVShowsFolder)]</thumb>            

                    <onclick>ActivateWindow(10025,special://profile/playlists/video/Tv Shows.xsp)</onclick> <!-- orig XBMC.ActivateWindow(MyVideoLibrary,tvshowtitles,return) -->

                    <visible>!Skin.HasSetting(HomeMenuNoTVShowsButton) + Library.HasContent(TVShows)</visible>

                </item>
